Default Brake shoes for C60L

Hi all,
I'm looking to change my brake shoes to a non asbestos rivet less composite material. Not having much luck buying them off the shelf in Aust so are looking at an expensive reline option. I was hope there was a supplier in the US that had them of the shelf that would freight to Aus. Hope you can help. Cheers

Default Truck brake shop

Hi

I've always just taken the old shoes to heavy truck brake shop and had them relined. Look around for old school shop that actually repairs trucks not just a parts replacement shop.

But now that you've asked the question I'll have check if the places around me still do it, or is that now a lost art?

Cheers Phil


PS - Just checked and yes the practice of relining heavy truck continues at least around here. It even came up in a Google search.
